  Case: Student not completing homework..
This student is an amazing learner and completes all assignments in class. She actively participates with the class and constantly works well within groups. However, when any homework is given, it never returns completed. Its blank and incomplete. When asked, she always says she forgets, even though I've given several reminders within her agenda and work book. How can I encourage her to do her work outside of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, I would talk with the student to get more details about the lack of homework completion. Have you considered allowing homework extensions? If she forgot, she should be able to complete it for the following day. If that doesn’t work, I would recommend reaching out to her guardian(s) for input. There are many possibilities for why she is having trouble completing work at home. I would try to remain patient and attempt to communicate frequently with both the student and the parents to find a solution.

Comments: I really enjoy that you are suggesting to ask the student about the situation first! Sometimes, if a student is not completing work at home, there may be issues happening at home or they do not have help!
I also agree with bringing in the parent/guardian if speaking to the student alone does not work.

Comments: Great solution. I think talking to the student first, giving more time, altering the assignment and making changes to accommodate the student, reach out to the parents either by a letter, email set up a conference. Parents can sometimes help with situations and I think there are different ways to resolve the issue.

Comments: I agree that talking directly is the best way to get a general idea of what is inhibiting the student on a social-emotional level before reaching out to the parents.

Comments: If you do not know what the student's home life is like, I would start by asking her if she has time to complete the homework. I like that you stated being patient and attempt to communicate frequently with both the student and the parent to find a solution.

Comments: I agree with her solution because finding the root cause will help the teacher work with the student to resolve the homework issue. Also, maybe the teacher can remind the student on the purpose of doing the homework like practicing skills learned in class.
